Tottenham have seen a massive £44.8million bid for high rated youngster Frenkie de Jong rejected by Ajax.

Midfielder de Jong has impressed for the Dutch giants since making his breakthrough into their first team two seasons ago - and has already played 10 times this season.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Spurs have already attempted to snare the 21-year-old with a huge offer.

Barcelona have also seen multiple offers snubbed by Ajax, who insist he is not for sale, while Premier League champions Manchester City are also circling.

De Jong's value is likely to have increase further after he made his full international bow for Holland, during their friendly victory over Peru on Thursday night.

Spurs are already looking at the January and next summer to boost their squad after failing to spend a penny during the last window.
